NTPC’s (National Thermal Power Corporation) share price took a knock today. A chunky block deal, where about 0.9 per cent equity changed hands, spooked the Street, dragging the share down nearly 3 per cent to Rs 325.85.
The question is: Does this dip open a fresh door for value investors?
What has triggered the fall?
- NTPC shares fell 3 per cent intraday today (June 24, 2025), after the block deal hit the tape.
- Around 0.9 per cent of NTPC’s equity was offloaded in bulk. No official names yet on who sold or bought.
- Volumes surged to twice the three-month average, indicating heightened trader activity.
Block deals often trigger short-term price swings. That’s what we’re seeing – a knee-jerk reaction rather than a hit to the business.
About the company
NTPC, India’s biggest power producer, runs an 80 GW fleet spanning coal, gas, hydro and renewables. A Maharatna PSU, it generates about a quarter of the country’s electricity. Beyond power, it’s into coal mining, engineering, and green energy projects.
Below is a table summarising the company’s fundamentals.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Market cap | Rs 3.24 lakh crore |
| P/E ratio | 13.8 |
| P/B ratio | 1.8 |
| Book value | Rs 189.8 |
| EPS | Rs 20.3 |
| ROE | 13.9 per cent |
| ROCE | 10.6 per cent |
| Dividend yield | 2.5 per cent |
The bottom line
Block deals create noise, not always signals. NTPC’s fundamentals haven’t changed overnight. If you’ve been waiting to enter at better valuations or beef up your defensive plays, this dip could be your window. But if clean energy acceleration is your key theme, maybe hold off until NTPC proves its green ambitions.
